A man wrongfully imprisoned for nearly three decades for murder has been released from a Minnesota prison, after the woman who falsely implicated him confessed to the crime.
Bryan Hooper Sr.'s first-degree murder conviction was vacated by state District Court Judge Marta Chou the day prior to his release from Stillwater Correctional Facility on Thursday morning, a spokesperson for the Great North Innocence Project confirmed.
Sloppy police. Sloppy prosecutors. At best.
How do things like this happen? Much of it starts in family court where misconduct by lawyers, judges, and prosecutors runs rampant. People think such actions are less important because they occur in family court. That is false. It is the same judges and prosecutors, and often the same legal firms, who work in criminal court as family court. It isn't like people who commit crime in family court cases somehow are reluctant to do the same in other areas of law.
Our legal system is institutionally corrupt.That is the open secret most lawyers know but will not admit publicly.
